Trash bag or plastic container...just to keep the dust off of them.  And if you use a trash bag just make sure you don't stack anything on top of it because it will get squished.

I would also suggest putting something in the bag to absorb any moisture that may accumulate so they don't get moldy!

You might want to store it upright in a hatbox or plastic storage bin.  Or cover it loosely with plastic, like a drycleaner's plastic bag. 

If it is white or light colored, you might want to avoid having it in contact with paper, cardboard, or wood, because it can turn yellow.  It will help if you wrap it loosely in lightweight cotton material.
